The Seward County Historical Society is becoming more important as it collects documents and stories from the pioneering families of the last 150 years. As each of the 10 remaining communities struggle to survive, they are becoming aware of the importance of maintaining the story and the memories of the family farms and the agriculturally based communities. Author Pat Coldiron is a local business owner in Seward, Nebraska, and has been researching the history of the community for many years.
